Mothership

The mothership is literally the mother of all the ravager species. It is a huge spherical command center that-like the UFO's, has a weak point.It appears in the short clip at the beginning of the story, but does not attack. It also appears in the last level Starship, level 6, and in the middle of the storyline in the level Thunder.

Weaponry
The mothership has a vast array of weapons, and it deploys all of these in the last level Starship The first one of these it usually activates are deploying ravagers themselves. Like in level six, it launches gunships out of 4 'vents' around the base of its sphere-shaped rim. Although there is a pink glow coming from these vents, if you shoot them it does not weaken the mothership. The second weapon the mothership deploys is its huge cannon, which it also uses in the level Thunder. This cannon takes some time to recharge, but its attack is quite extreme-blasting a full 360 degrees with a huge, red beam of energy. You can take this cannon down by shooting at the red areas, although it is very tough in harder difficulties. One strategy is to use the EDF assault chopper to land on the cannon itself, deploy C70 bombs and then fly away, activating them thus destroying the cannon in one blow (even on inferno difficulty.) Once the cannon has been destroyed it will leave a huge hole which glows red: The Mothership's Only Weakness.

Once the cannon is down the mothership will change dramatically-making all the plates (all 300 of them) levitate around its body. These 'plates' fire lazers every two seconds, which cause a little bit of damage if they hit you. These 'plates' can be destroyed by shooting at them with a rocket launcher. This should not be done, though, because taking down one plate will certainly not minimize the damage all of the lazers do to you.

If you are on difficulties Easy and Medium, you will be able to kill the mothership after it has deployed these weapons. If you are on a higher difficulty it will deploy 'legs' which shoot green plasma bullets at you. By now your screen will probably be blurred with lazer colour, and it will be extremely difficult to concentrate. You can shoot the legs off the mothership, and it is advised to do this because they are a major threat. Always keep on firing at the red hole in the base of the mothership and you will eventually kill it. You will know it's going down because you will see all the lights go out, and there will be a radio transmission ordering you to evacuate the area. You don't have to do this, because the mothership falling won't kill you. After the end of the level, there'll be a short clip and then the trailers.thumb|350px|right|Ultimate EDF player Matrixandria defeats the last level using a very wise tactic.
